why don't they ever show them going into space or coming back to earth without the camera cutting away. then coming back. Cause there full of shit, space cadets. lmao
@twinturbonissan300zx You have a misconception about scientist and the shuttle program. Scientist dont make decisions about the shuttle or work on or solve shuttle problems. Its all mgt. and engineers and technicians. Scientist work on science. They may fly expierments on shuttle or station but thats it. They are few and far between meaning you dont see many around the shuttle. Also Nasa owns the shuttle but non govt. contractors do all the work on it. Nasa just oversees the work.
@Truth666 Views from the cockpit are picked by the crews. There are only 2 places on the flightdeck where the cameras are allowed. The crew picks either window 9 (like this video) or the brow or dash board looking back at them. The window 4 view on launch is mandated by Nasa. The only mounted camera on landing is the pilots Hud. Any other views during landing is a camera held and moved around by the crew.
@twinturbonissan300zx Video was reviewed after launch where damage was suspected. Re-entry was done because no damage was found. Shuttle could not get to station because it was in a different orbit. Next shuttle mission was not soon enough before Columbia ran out of fuel, O2, food, Co2 scrubbers etc. to stay in orbit. Also you dont launch the next mission without determining what happened to the previous one.
@AggieGalveston Hi, WHY wasn't the columbia launch aborted during launch if nasa saw the wing getting damaged by falling debris on live cameras? As for the re-entry, why did you take the risk? I mean surely their were other options to take, such as either docking with the ISS and having the astronauts picked up by the next scheduled shuttle mission? Or leaving the columbia in orbit whilst waiting for another shuttle to meet with them and transfer the astronauts to the healthy shuttle?
@Truth666 not sure what to say lol. Working for nasa for twenty five years and personally knowing dozens of astronauts and witnessing several launches...I must have it all wrong!!!!!!! I guess that "space station" you can see from earth must of been made by the aliens right???? ha!

reason this is the only view fron the cockpit the NASA clowns can deliver from these NASA clowns:

ISS / space shuttle is a hoax. There are no "astronauts" in the rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, as there were no "astronauts" in any Apollo, Soyuz & Co.
Russia's Putin has shown long ago that he would soon put an end to this hoax, staged by the US and the Soviet Union for decades.
amazing how that vehicle can withstand all that heat & etc from re-entry. i can remember as a kid every time a shuttle went up it was live on tv & was a huge event.
From hunters and gatherers, to scientists and pilots capable of leaving our atmosphere (even landing on the moon); the progression of mankind is an absolutely incredible thing. It makes me sad when people need to attribute our existence and success to non-existent, all powerful beings. It makes me sad that few people can just appreciate our beauty for what it is, be humbled by it, and find comfort knowing that we are what we are because of billions of years of evolutionary success. I love us.
@Roadstar1602
Actually, the wings are rather big because the Air Force demanded for a large crossrange capability on reentry / landing which would allow the shuttle to launch into polar orbit, deploy a satellite and land on american soil within one orbit. Also, delta winged airplanes without a horizontal stab are quite common.
@soryusernamebintaken It's worse than that even. What they have to land is an unpowered flying brick. Look at those tiny wings and that huge fuselage. And the complete lack of a horizontal stabilizer in the rear. The fact that they never crashed this thing on landing is absolutely amazing.
so after flying a rocket up to the sky, into space, doing all there space jobs and having to live there risking there lives, they then come back and have to land a fucking plane as well!!!! Talented individuls.
